Verizon to offer White iPhone 4 in both 16GB and 32GB versions

We told you recently that the White iPhone 4 was finally going to show itself and be available later this month. We were not sure if the device would be on both AT&T and Verizon, but it looks to be heading to Verizon customers as an internal inventory from the carrier has been leaked.

Mark Gurman from AppleInsider is reporting that according to the inventory Verizon are to offer the White iPhone 4 in both 16GB and 32GB versions. Apple have been saying for a while that the devoice will be available in the spring, but latest reports are pointing to an April release.

AppleInsider have a screen shot of the inventory, and based on the numbering system and other sources, the numbers are for the white iPhone 4. The model number for the black handset is MC678 and the white iPhone 4 is MC679. This is the same as the numbering system for the iPad 2s, where the white model number is one higher than the black model.

Regardless of whether the white iPhone 4 could be out pretty soon, will many people actually want it now after all this time? Sometime this year we should see the iPhone 5, so is it advisable to sign up to a new two year contract and then see a new device be released?
